Why I Love Teaching the Cake Pops Basics Class

When people ask me what my favorite class to teach is, Cake Pops Basics always comes to mind. It’s not just because they’re fun to make—it’s because of the joy and creativity this class brings to everyone involved. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or a total beginner, cake pops are an approachable and delightful treat to learn.

This year, after the holidays, I was thrilled to see how much our customers loved our Christmas Baskets, which featured cake pops decorated with red, white, and green sprinkles. They were a huge hit for gifting and party favors, and I couldn’t stop hearing how much people enjoyed them. That’s why I’m so excited to offer this Cake Pops Basics Class on Monday, January 20, 2025, a holiday where you can join in on the fun with family and friends.

Why Cake Pops?

1. The Perfect Bite-Sized Treat:
Every cake pop combines a moist, flavorful center with a smooth, chocolatey coating that’s as fun to look at as it is to eat. I love teaching this class because it transforms simple cake into something truly special.

2. Great for Any Occasion:
Customers often tell me how they’ve used cake pops for baby showers, birthdays, or as thoughtful gifts. Their compact size and eye-catching decorations make them the star of any event. And as I saw with our Christmas Baskets, they’re a crowd favorite!

3. Chocolate That Melts, Not Candy Melts:
One thing I’m passionate about is quality, which is why we use chocolate melting wafers instead of candy melts in this class. The difference in flavor is night and day—rich, smooth, and utterly delicious.

What You’ll Learn

During the class, I’ll teach you everything you need to know to create professional-quality cake pops at home. Here’s what’s included:

• Cake Creation: Start with a 6-inch cake (vanilla or chocolate) and learn how to transform it into perfectly round pops.
• Chocolate Dipping: I’ll show you how to achieve that flawless, glossy coating that’s a hallmark of great cake pops.
• Decorating Magic: Sprinkles, drizzles, and more—unleash your creativity and personalize each pop.
• Packaging Skills: Learn how to package your cake pops beautifully, just like those in our holiday baskets.
